How Many Subscribers WWE Expects For The Network This Year, Natalya & Tyson Kidd Filming

- In the SEC document that we linked to on WWE’s corporate website this morning, it was noted that WWE believes they can build the Network subscriber base to 1-2 million by the end of this year. They also acknowledge that one downside of the Network could be the loss of pay-per-view buys via traditional outlets and that it’s possible some carriers could drop them for placing pay-per-views on the Network.

– Natalya and Tyson Kidd were filming for WWE Total Divas this afternoon in Florida. Natalya noted that she also will be appearing at tonight’s NXT TV tapings.

Absolutely WORTH losing some of the pay-per-view buys, because in the long run they’ll more than make up for it in subscribers to the network. PLUS they’re not being gouged like the Satellite/Cable Companies normally do by taking all but 40% of the revenue generated from the purchases.
